We are currently working with charities and civil service society organisations across the UK to ensure the voter identification works for all voters, and all groups are aware of the new requirements. As for registration as an elector, an elector will not require a fixed address to apply for a Voter Card and will be able to apply for and collect their Card in person. Attestation will be possible when applying for a Voter Card, should an elector be unable to provide the necessary documents.
